Rio Mendoza

Mendoza is well known for its access to incredible rapids, providing an ideal destination in Argentina for die-hard rafting and kayaking fans. Just southwest of the city, the small town of Portrerillos provides the main jumping off point for a wild, heart-pounding adventure down Rio Mendoza, complete with class III and IV rapids that will put casual rafters' stamina and resolve to the test. Take in the amazing, rocky mountain scenery around Mendoza Province as you navigate down the river's cold, glacial waters in tours lasting from ½ – 2 days. High flow runs during the country's warm summer months between November and March.
